Tx for posting your cure!

(and nice to see you posting here again)

Had a question just today from a member with the same symptoms, this may help them.

The problems I was experiencing above were caused by a faulty ignition coil pack. I purchased a replacement Ford OEM pack and the car runs great now.

Sorry for not updating everyone sooner.

I will buy some of the MAF cleaner and give that a try. Do any of you know someone in the Atlanta area that has a dataloger?

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

They have MAF cleaner that you spray onto the wire. Also, datalogging like Tom said will give you a better idea of where to start.

Very carefully. Seriously, it's usually a thin platinum wire. If you're unsure, maybe a mechanic is the best way to go.

The best advice I can give is find a local member with a xcal and do a datalog , I will be glad to look it over and help with the problem

Changing parts till you find the issue gets very costly as I am sure your finding out

I did not think that the MAF could be cleaned? How can I clean the MAF sensor without damaging it?

Shuttering/Bucking, Power Loss Between 3,500 to 5,000 RPM

I'm having power loss issues between 3,500 to 5,000 RPM. Usually once the RPMs reach 5,000 the car will eventually begin to pull. This only happens when the car is in gear and it's very irritating to have bucking and jerking when I mash the gas until 5,000 RPM when a get a moment of nice power.

I have noticed that in the cold mornings the car RPMs will sometimes jump to 2,000 RPM until the engine gets warm.
